strange window refresh behavior

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I've recently installed XP on a new computer and scrolling through a long
document produces "waves" while the window refreshes causing the scroll
speed to slow considerably. The new graphics card [GeForce FX5200] did not
come with drivers on a CD, but should have no trouble dealing with documents
and web browsing. I've got 1.5GB of RAM yet it seems like this thing is
laboring to keep up when scrolling through documents and web pages.

I've tried various mouse and keyboard configurations attempting to speed
things up but didn't have any luck.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,

Until you install the drivers for the video card u are never going to get
rid of this problem.

if you havent got a cd with the card, contact the vendor and ask him to
provide the cd. most graphic cards come with a cd and it is impossible not to
get one.

Or you can download the drivers from the web site.
